About

Scunthorpe Lakeside is situated on the northern edge of the town, centred around a series of large former flooded clay pits that have been transformed into a water park and nature reserve. The area is dominated by the expanse of water used for sailing and watersports, with paths and green spaces encircling the lakes. This creates a landscape focused on recreation and local wildlife, separate from the town's industrial centre.

The site includes the Pods activity centre, offering climbing and outdoor pursuits. A specific feature is the Lakeside Railway, a miniature passenger train that travels a route along the water's edge, providing a distinctive way to view the surroundings. The area functions as a local leisure destination with an emphasis on water-based activities and walking.
